Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-12-17

Jackson Hunt was born In 1921 in Ohio, like
his commander western man. also West
Point graduate. He finished the course of in
struction there when only IS years old. Dur
ing the Mexican war he became major of ar
tillery, and was afterwards especially identi-
fed with that arm of the service. He was
McClellan's chief of staff during the peninsu-
lar campaign. During the whole war he
served iii the Army of the Potomac, and was
one of its most faithful and useful officers.
Burnsidcs chief cavalry commander con-
tinued to be Gen. Alfred Plcasonton. Pleas
onton was born at Washington city, in 1924,
and was the same age as Burnside He en-
tered the cavalry service when he left West
Point, in 1874. and was sent to Mexico, He
remained in the west and southwest ON duty
most Of the time till the outbreak of the civil
war. At Fredericksburg he held the rank OF
brigader general of volunteers. He saw
severe fighting there and subsequently, at
Charlottesville and Gettysburg After
wards he was ordered west, and his troopers
helped clear Missouri OF Sterling Prices men
in 1864.
In 1868 Gen Pleasonton resigned from the
army and engaged in mining and other bush
ness. His advocacy of the blneglass theory is
well known.
Burnside's chief of staff was Brig. Gen.
John G. Parke. said to be one OF the
hnndsomeSt OF the accomplished officers
grouped about the headquarters of
the Army of tho Potomac. Parke was
Pennsylvanian. born in 1927, and a
West Pointer Of 1Si9. He entered the engi-
neer corps He had been q brigadier general
on tho North Carolina coast under Burnside,
and, with his old commander, joined the
Army of the Potomac He afterwards was
ordered south and west. He took active part
in the siege of Vicksburg, also of Knoxville.
He followed the fortunes OF Burnside. At
the final battles before Richmond, and pre-
yious TO that, in 1864, Gen. PnllSe, under
Burnside, commanded the old Ninth corps.
Gen. Parke is now superintendent ut West
Point.
Military critics declare that Burnside
should have aimed at Lees army rather than
at Richmond At all events, he determined
to occupy fredericksburg Immediately. Pub
lie sentiment and the newspapers demanded
that something should be done at once.
| While Burnside was making way for the
transportation OF supplies the Confederates
were fortifying Fredericksburg and the
heights behind 1t. At the end of November
Lees whole army lay in a crescent around
Fredericksburg. Its right was at Port ROYAL
below the town; the left little distance
| above. The Confederate Notifications were
truly formidable, 50 as to render crossing d.
rectly infront Of tie city hopeless But pom
